Summary
Penelope had to get out. She felt like she was dying every time she had to return to Featherington house, and now with the heir race well underway with her sisters, she knew she had to get out. Penelope was no fool, she knew living with one of her sisters as the new Lady Featherington would be interminable and she’d likely be kicked out and sent to the country – or worse, Ireland in exile. However, Penelope had been planting seeds and she had two plans – hopefully one of them would work.
The first one involved Lady Danbury and a desperate plea for asylum – before she wound up in one.
The second one involved telling Anthony Bridgerton she was in love with him and wanted to be his wife.

Summary
I could feel that something was changing between us, and pretending not to notice was no longer an option. The silences spoke louder than words, and I knew that speaking up would come at a cost. That choice wasn’t only about feelings it was about the future I was about to claim. If I moved forward, nothing would stay the same.
